This long-awaited second volume of Professor Moffett's much-acclaimed history of Christianity in Asia illustrates the advance of the modern missionary movement in the continent of its birth. Like the first volume it makes available immense amounts of research in a readable and engaging narrative, providing a rich and compelling story that has long been overlooked. The four centuries this volume treats are years of great missionary outreach, and ambiguous results. Moffett's eye brings into dramatic relief events that illustrate both the broad patterns and the vital details of the spread of Christianity on a continent with more and deeper cultural differences than any other. A History of Christianity in Asia will stand for years to come as one of the most important resources of its kind-invaluable for historians and students of Asia, scholars of mission, and stimulating for all readers interested in Christian history.

Yes, I will be keeping the book. It's a great resource, overflowing with information. I didn't enjoy Volume II as much as I did Volume I, but I don't know if that's necessarily a failing of Professor Moffett. Volume I covered times and places with which I was totally unfamiliar, hence I found the book fascinating. Volume II, in contrast, had a flavor that was less exotic. From the sixteenth century onward, the Christian churches in Asia were interacting with Europeans. The cultural and ecclesiastical conflicts were all too familiar. But don't let that prevent you from picking this up and giving it a read.
